This was a really exciting debate. I thought Dr. Martin really handed it to Van Hale, though I thought the debate too often got off track into personal issues.

Davitor, surely you don't think that no one in the world has changed their mind. Maybe many people dig in their heels regardless of the good arguments given, but many don't. That's why there are converts.

"The heart is desperately wicked above all things. Who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 Absolutely now amount of apologetics will save someone. Only the regenerating work of God can change a man's heart, as TSR says.

I guess that's why Paul argued in the synagogues everywhere he went, and before the people in Athens, and before kings and various other authorities, and why he told Timothy to be ready to give a defense. Because giving a defense is to no avail in leading a person to Christ.
